2. Procedural Background

On June 9, 2004, we adopted STCs for contracts pursuant to the RPS Program. (D.04-06-014.) On February 1, 2007, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (PG&E) and Southern California Edison Company (SCE) jointly filed a petition for modification of D.04-06-014. On February 28, 2007, responses to the petition were filed by Independent Energy Producers Association (IEP) and the Center for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies (CEERT). On May 17, 2006, petitioners requested permission to reply to the responses. On May 18, 2007, the request was denied given that a proposed decision (PD) was ready to be filed within days.

On May 22, 2007, a PD was filed and served. The PD granted the petition in part, and denied the petition in all other respects. On June 8, 2007, comments were filed by CEERT, and on June 11, 2007 by San Diego Gas & Electric Company (SDG&E) and petitioners. On June 18, 2007, IEP and petitioners filed reply comments.

On June 15, 2007, petitioners jointly filed an amended petition for modification. On June 19, 2007, SCE filed supplemental comments in support of the amended petition. Responses in support of the amended petition were filed on June 29, 2007 by CEERT, and on July 2, 2007 by IEP and SDG&E. On July 9, 2007, petitioners filed reply comments in further support of the amended petition.
